"I Am 71" Online Protest Urges
Opposition to Taxpayer Funded
Abortion - Watch the Video!
Washington, DC – Pro-life groups have
joined together to launch IAM71.org, a website where the people can post photos of
themselves with the number 71 to remind President Obama
and Congress that 71% of Americans oppose taxpayer
funded abortions.
“We plan make sure that President Obama
and every member of Congress is sent a link to these
photos so they can put faces on the 71% figure that
represents the percentage of Americans opposed to
tax-funding of abortion in health care legislation
currently under consideration,” said Operation Rescue
President Troy Newman. “We want them to look us in the
eye and consider who they represent before they finalize
plans to oppose our will on this critical moral
issue.”
“We have been encouraged by the response
to the I AM 71 project in the past 72 hours,” said
Newman. “It quickly grew beyond just one organization.
Because of overwhelmingly positive the response, other
pro-life groups and leaders have joined with us to
sponsor this grassroots project. The I AM 71 project is
now a growing movement that is just starting to hit
Facebook and other social networking sites, thanks to
the help of our dedicated supporters around the nation.”
“We know that whenever public funds are
used for abortions, the abortion rate rises. That makes
the issue of public abortion funding a critical
life-and-death moral issue of great importance to the
American people, who have now spoken with resounding
clarity in opposition to such funding. Those voices
deserve to be heard. The I AM 71 project doing
that.”
The concept began with an idea by Rev.
Patrick Mahoney of the Christian Defense Coalition to
place a 100 foot number 71 on the lawn of the U.S.
Capitol. Operation Rescue supported the effort by
working to activate the grassroots though the I AM 71
virtual protest in which everyone could easily
participate.
Some of the growing number of groups
sponsoring the project include the Christian Defense
Coalition, Pro-life Unity, Generation Life, Operation
Rescue, and pro-life columnist and blogger Jill
Stanek.
The new IAM71.org website allows participants to easily upload
their photos online where they can be viewed in a slide
show and other formats. There is also a new e-mail
address, photos@IAM71.org, for
those who would like to send in photos from their mobile
devices.
Web Site Launched Exposing Obama's
Extremist Positions On Abortion
Operation
Rescue has launched a web site, ObamaWantsYou.com,
as part of a multi-faceted campaign to expose Sen. Barack Obama’s
fanatical abortion views.
The web site features an image of Obama dressed as Uncle
Sam, with the slogan “Obama Wants You To Pay For Abortions.” It also
features six other extremist abortion views that Obama has espoused,
including his belief that children are a punishment, and his heartless
opposition to legislation that would provide protection to infants born
alive as the result of a failed abortion.
Along with the web site, Operation Rescue specially
outfitted several Truth Trucks to promote the web site on the campaign
trail and will sponsor an advertising blitz to draw attention to the web
site.
The ObamaWantsYou.com
web site documents and exposes Obama's radical support for abortion like
no other site, with video clips and direct quotes.
"We expect there to be a hard push by the Obama
Campaign to win the State of Kansas. Information is our best weapon
against this," said K-Tip Chairperson Cheryl Sullenger.
"We believe that if the good people of the Sunflower State understand
the truly extremist position that Obama has taken on life issues, they
will reject his candidacy out of hand. That's why I encourage you to visit
ObamaWantsYou.com
today!"
